What's new

Xceed Zip for .NET and Xceed Zip for Xamarin both updated to v6.3 with bug fixes and performance improvements for handling Zip archives containing a large number of items. Memory fragmentation occurring in the .NET/Xamarin large object heap is reduced thanks to the use of alternative data structures that don’t allocate large objects. This not only benefits applications that zip and unzip archives containing more than 100000 items, but also applications that run for a long time, including ASP.NET applications. Future releases will further reduce the use of .NET’s large object heap, as well as the time it takes to process existing Zip archives containing a large number of items. [Release Notes]

Xceed Words for .NET updated to v1.2 with 13 improvements and bug fixes, including support for tab stops, shading for text and paragraphs, and hyperlinks to bookmarks. [Release Notes]

Xceed SFTP for .NET and Xceed SFTP for Xamarin updated to v6.3 with support for diffie-hellman key exchange. [Release Notes]

Added a new product (and framework category) to Xceed Data Manipulation Suite: Xceed Real-Time Zip for Xamarin. This product is Xceed’s first step in the multiplatform world and it is just the beginning. You can now use Xceed Real-Time Zip in applications built in Xamarin on Windows, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, OS X, and more, mobile and desktop. Various bug fixes and version number updates in other libraries in the suite, for both for .NET and ActiveX platforms.

2015 v1
Released Feb. 9, 2015

2012 v2
Released Nov. 2012

Added Xceed SFTP for .NET, bringing the number of products in the suite to 16! This product lets you incorporate robust file transfer/access/management that uses the SFTP protocol into any .NET / ASP.NET application (.NET 2.0 to .NET 4.5). Ideal for developers who need to deliver industry-standard security in applications, it uses the SSH file transfer protocol (SSH-2), which is distinct from the commonly used FTP or FTPS (FTP over SSL) protocols and addresses their shortcomings. It uses Xceed’s intuitive file and folder object model.

Updated March 1, 2012 with changes in documentation and new license agreements.

2011 v1
Released Jan. 2011

Xceed Zip for .NET (SFX) v5.1/4.3 and Xceed Zip for .NET CF v4.3 provide compatibility, flexibility, and performance improvements. Specifically, Zip file sizes can be optimized and their creation made more efficient because developers can now decide whether folder entries should be written to the zip archive. Compatibility with Xceed Real-Time Zip for .NET / .NET CF / Silverlight is improved and flexibility is increased in general, as it is now possible to zip using the Deflate format without compression. Resource management has been improved in a way that will help programmers streamline their application logic during development, thanks to a property that returns the number of pending actions remaining to be done on an archive. The stream buffer size of the base file class is now configurable, increasing flexibility and potentially increasing performance based on factors such as the media involved.

The Real-Time Zip products (.NET, .NET CF, and Silverlight) have also been updated: compatibility with older zip tools has been increased by making it the default behavior to produce Zip 2.0-compatible archives; this behavior can be changed by the developer, and the ZipWriter can generate uncompressed zip files that the product’s ZipReader can read increasing flexibility (combines the Deflate format and no compression).

2010 v3
Released July 2010

The suite’s Silverlight products (Xceed Real-Time Zip for Silverlight and Xceed Upload for Silverlight) are now built and fully compatible with Silverlight 4. Versions built for Silverlight 3 are also still available.

2010 v1
Released April 2010

The Zip capabilities in Xceed Zip for .NET / .NET CF (updated to v4.2) boast their most significant performance boost yet. Creating and updating zip files can now be significantly faster, thanks to a greatly reduced use of temporary files.
